FrameMaker

I'm importing high resolution *.tif screen shots into FrameMaker 12 but after I create the PDF they come out low resolution and blurry. Examples below. I've been doing this a while and never experienced this before.I tried changing the Print settings as well:Original .tif imageImage in PDF @ 100%Image in PDF @ 300%

Hey guys,I am fairly new to the FrameMaker-scripting-thing. I basically have a folder, full of .xml files that shall be opened with a structured application and then be saved as a .fm file. I can already do that but I have to manually tell FrameMaker which structured application to use (as in How do I load an XML file, and save it as an fm file). But I can't really say which one should be used. I'd rather have the user specify the application once for the first file (maybe even open the dialog that can be seen when manually opening a .xml-file) and use it for the rest of the files as well.Pseudo-Code:var structApp = ChooseStructApp();openXmlFile(filePath, structApp);Does anyone know how to do anything like that?Kind regards,Tom

I'm working on a large 2-page file in Framemaker with several graphics.  Depending on the color scheme (CMYK/RGB), I'm getting errors when producing PDFs.When choosing RGB, I get a blank 2-page PDF.  When choosing CMYK, the PDF displays fine except my images are cutoff on the ends with white space:Anyone have experience with these issues?

Hello,I use fm11 and I would like to know if we can avoid that fm generate many .cgm files during a .xml generationThanksJerome

I have document in Framemaker 2017 Unstructured.I convert it to HTML 5 using the publish featureAnchored graphics which only holds one image, converts correctlyAnchored frames which hold both an image AND some text boxes do not convert at all. The conversion process merely leaves blank spaces.How can I make it work, so these anchored frames which hold text AND graphics convert correctly?Best regardsBjørn

I have a run-in paragraph tagged (highlighted below), but how do I get it back on the same line as my previous bold heading?  When I delete a space to bring it back up, the tag changes back to the previous bold heading's tag:

I'm working with the trial version of Framemaker and I downloaded the FDK.  I'm running VS2017, and I can't get a good build.  I started with unresolved external symbols for printf (for which I found an answer to add legacy_stdio_definitions.lib; to the project's linker input, and an unresolved reference to __declspec(dllImport) which I cannot find. What do I need to do to get a build for these samples so that I can properly evaluate the usefullness to our organization, please?  Thanks,Kim

I am trying to create an object style (for instance) that will create an in-line image, at the insertion point, 8 points below the line. Some of the images are wider than others, and they keep on being constrained to the size of the original object I used.Is there a way around this?

Hi,I'm posting this question here after an e-mail discussion with Design Science's tech support. I have been starting to work with FrameMaker again after quite some time. I have installed a fresh 2017 version and wanted to evaluate the MathML equations. I am not able to print any of these equations (I get an error "some of the imported graphics cannot be printed" from FrameMaker) and if producing a pdf file  the equations render with squares for +/- and equal signs...As I said, this happens using an out of the box new install on a Windows 10 system with no settings changed (latest Framemaker update applied). I was wondering whether anyone was experiencing similar problems or has an idea what might be wrong here.ThanksKlaus

Hi. I'm novice with FM and need some help First, I need to understand, is there a way to place tree images in one row, as shown in the picture below:Second, I need to understand how to create automatically-resized callouts (it should resize only vertically, of course). For example, here is callout which have only one sentence inside it:But here - it have more text inside it:It there way to create it in FM?

I keep having trouble with change bars staying in the document - it's very random. FM17 and I am all patched up. I shouldn't have to go page by page to make sure the change bars are removed.

I can't make a new map, or add files to an existing ditamap, or open files from a ditamap. Do I need to reinstall Frame?

Hi all,I have recently installed FrameMaker 2017 and am unable to runs scripts.From the FrameMaker menu I have tried File > Run and nothing happens.I have also tried to create a new script by going file > Script > New Script and nothing happens.I have looked in the start menu and Adobe Endscript is not there, which used to be packaged with FrameMaker 12 to create the scripts.Is Adobe Extendscript required to be downloaded and installed to run scripts inside FrameMaker 2017?Is there a work around to run scripts inside of FrameMaker 2017 without Adobe Extendscript.Cheers

Dear all,Int he following script I want to place a variable at a particular position in a paragraph.Obviously my method to define a TextLocation in line 11 is wrong. Line 26is never executed and hence no variable inserted.TestInsertVariable ();function TestInsertVariable () {  var paraText = "Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts."  var  oDoc = app.ActiveDoc, sValue, sVarName, oTextLoc, oPgf;  if(oDoc.ObjectValid()) {    oPgf = oDoc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf;    oTextLoc = new TextLoc(oPgf, 0);    oDoc.AddText(oTextLoc, paraText);              // create a paragraph    oTextLoc = new TextLoc(oPgf, 17);              // arbitrary place    sVarName = "GugusVariable"; &n

Im FrameMaker-Benutzerhandbuch wird auf ein Onlinehandbuch "FrameMaker-Zeichensätze" verwiesen. Online jedoch finde ich nix. Wo ist es zu finden?Hintergrund der Frage:Für eine Aufzählungsnummerierung möchte ich das "kleiner-als"-Zeichen in Wingdings2 verwenden. Aber ganz so einfach geht das nicht. So hatte ich mir Erleuchtung von dieser Informationsschrift erhofft.

Hello guys, its me again.While trying to fix the startup problems, I encountered a completely new bug.My script runs perfectly when started in ExtendScript Toolkit. I am using infinite loops for socket operations, which can be broken under certain conditions (e.g. wrong request params etc.) I am receiving following error when my script is being started from FM:The line mentioned above always varies - I repeat: the script runs well when being started in ExtendScript Toolkit. I guess that the troublemaker are my infinite loops, but unfortunately I need them just the way they are.How can I tell FM to disable this timeout?Thanks thanks thanks.Selim

In der Testversion von FM2017 gibt es den nervigen Begrüßungsbildschirm mit Vorherige Elemente, Neues Dokument erstellen und herumzappelnden Lernressourcen. Dieses Herumgewedele auf dem Bildschirm irritiert mich ungemein - wie man an diesem Post merkt. Vor allem: ich kann dieses Zeugs (wie einen ständig kläffenden Hund) nicht abstellen. Jedenfalls finde ich über Bearbeiten > Voreinstellungen > Allgemein einfach nichts. Bitte: wie geht das weg!?Es klingt zwar lächerlich, aber da es ständig im Augenwinkel herumwackelt und ich nichts dagegen tun kann, macht mich das fix und fertig.

Just upgraded to 2017 and have not found a way to stop the--incredibly annoying--scrolling text on the opening screen. Does anyone know how that text can be stopped? Thank you!

I tried to learn more about text insets in FrameMaker. This is what happened:I've linked a simple module file TextInset.fm into a container file Test.fm.Then I selected and deleted the inset in the container file."Warning:" is an entry in the paragraph tag's Autonumbering. So far - so good.Now I tried to change the paragraph tag of the first line. But nothing happened. The line still keeps the Autonumbering and, of course, the whole tag:I deleted the Autonumbering Format on the Numbering sheet of the Paragraph Designer and deactivated Autonumber Paragraphs. But the f*** Autonumbering is still alive:Is it me who's wrong? Or is this another FM bug?Btw:This was just a very simple test. Anyone out there, who is seriously using text insets in FM, and is NOT thinking about suicide or killing FrameMaker?

I created a tagged PDF document from Framemaker, but the Adobe accessibility checker still says there are still issues with the document.  Part of the results are shown below, how do I fix these ?Page ContentRule NameStatusDescriptionTagged contentFailedAll page content is taggedTagged annotationsFailedAll annotations are taggedTab orderFailedTab order is consistent with structure order

I would like my HTML default landing page to be the first page of the first chapter - how can I change it. I looked at the options in the dropdown menu and it's just a list of certain types of files. Can I enter a specific page?

I have many "at Insertion Point" anchored frames in my documents, in a paragraph that is centered.In FM2015, these aligned to center on HTML5 output. However, now in FM2017, they are all aligning left.Is this a bug or am I missing something?ThanksCindy

Hello community, i have a problem with FM 2017.I want to export a FrameMaker document to HTML5. I am using images in anchored frames with annotations and symbols, like arrows. Both, the image and the annotations, are in an anchored frame.The HTML5 export downscales all my images with annotations and arrows, so they are not usable anymore. They are so pixilated, you can´t identify anything.When i am removing the annotations etc. the images look nice.Is there anyone who can help me?Thank you!

Having issues with svg files exported from illustrator.When I import the svg file into an anchor frame publish to html the svg graphics turn suddenly freakishly large or very small. In addition, when I add a hotspot to an anchor frame with svg content the hotspot won't work, which I had noted in a earlier thread.jpegs seems to work fine as does ai files, both in size and hotspot functionality.It's just the svgs.Are there any special considerations importing svgs from illustrator or for importing in framemaker?

I really like some of the updates for FrameMaker 2017. Overall, it's working better for me than 2015. However, I've had the following scenario happen twice now. I thought that it was just me at first, but I'm 98 percent certain that this is something else.I went to update a book file. When the book finished updating, it generated an error report that had a bunch of broken cross-references to a single chapter. When I looked at the book file, the normal FM document icon had turned gray and featured a question mark (as though the file had been deleted or had been moved). I opened the folder containing the chapters only to discover that my chapter had vanished. It's nowhere to be found.My IT department probably assumes that I'm deleting stuff on accident and blaming the software, but I was working on the file in question earlier today and did not delete anything from that folder.It's possible that the file vanished earlier and that I didn't realize it until the update, but it's also possib
